Graeme=0AI was refering to the Classic Europa wing. The section has a sligh
t bump just=0Aunder the LE which is very easily sanded off. The nose radius
is also quite small,=0Aagain easy to sand off even with a sheet of fine ab
rasive round the LE.Accurate =0Atemplates are essential and the plans versi
on isn't accurate enough for these subtle=0Acurves. That's what was wrong w

=0A=0AInteresting to hear that you can fly with a flap down; but for me a l
ot is going on just after take off, watching the gauges, the speed the VSI,
changing prop pitch, unlocking to get the wheel up and pushing the leaver
with the right hand etc - maybe the spring/tension is a bit off if its firs

at that point.=0A=0AYep I also value Grahams wisdom and contributions; I am
just thinking of the message, unintentionally, its sending to current buil
ders. The fact is hundreds have been made by imperfect amateurs and the sta
